Gold has been trading in a channel that goes back to 1999.

Channel resistance is indicated by line 1 and channel support is indicated with line 2.

Since the high reached above $1 000 we see a series of lower highs forming.

This is characteristic of a down trend. Gold also fell below the critical support we last discussed at $750. This again reinforces the down trend.
